Ashton Eyeing England Place

West Ham's Dean Ashton wants England to qualify for Euro 2008 as he still thinks he can make the national team,

"It gives England a chance to qualify and obviously I am desperate to get in the squad at any point. Obviously it will be a big goal as players are going to be striving to get into the squad if we qualify.

England should be in the big tournaments because of the players we have got so obviously I will be rooting for them.

The experienced players and the big games England have played over recent years will stand us in good stead against a Croatia team that perhaps has not played those big matches."

Gazzetta dello Sport says that West Han have registered their interest with Atalanta for their 27 year-old defender Morris Carrozzieri with a view to discussing a deal for the January market.
